Blackadder's Lucius Pattern Reaver

[Blackadder]

Ventilator Unit:

Between the Void Generators there is the Ventilator Unit. Since I want the generator assembly in one piece I need to make a second set of vent housings.

The build is pretty straightforward with a bit of Lucius angles to keep things interesting.

Ventilator Unit 2

The major hull components assembled without gluing showing the well thought out FW engineering. Ya gotta give these guys credit.

Note the wire wrapped tubing in the foreground. That will be changed to styrene rods.

Central Ventilator Continues:

This is not a very popular thread judging by the number of hits it has received. This goes along with my personal opinion of the Reaver Titan in general; that it is not that popular of a model and that were FW to have produced a Warlord instead it would have been better received.

In spite of this I shall persevere in this endeavor to the bitter end.

Work continues on the Central Ventilator console with the securing the spiral conduit to the base construction. Unfortunately I have exhausted my local hobby stores of material; "Jeez Blackadder what are you doing with all that plasticard?" is the usual query. To which I say, "You don't check your incoming emails do You?"

Not much to say about the images posted all should be self-explanatory Although I welcome any questions.

For what it's worth, I think it's an impressive undertaking. I tend not to leave many comments on projects such as this, as my own skills with plasticard are rather poor and I didn't want to clog up the thread with meaningless platitudes. I do enjoy and appreciate your build logs, though, for while it will be a long time before I can attempt anything near this ambitious, I find that seeing how you go about putting these builds together helps me figure out what to look for when I go about modifying my own models.

As an aside, I personally like the Reaver over the Warlord, but that could be an artifact from playing Final Liberation and finding that it was very easy to get a Warlord trapped in my deployment zone, where the Reaver could actually make it across the field to do some work.

I have never built anything of this size but I must say I am impressed. I read it and check about everyday. I hope one day to at least get one or two titans into my Dark Angels chapter. I still have much work to do on my chapter before I can move onto titans

It's not the responses but the lack of interest in general that I was commenting on which I attribute to the model (but that may be a reflection of my personal tastes.)

I was speaking of the relative interest in this project on all the forums I post; 19 currently. I use basically the same post for all the forums and then custom tailor my responses to the individual replies.

Each time it is updated I view this thread. I haven't commented on it as I don't really think that I have anything useful to say, other than being in general awe of this.

[Kaptain Badrukk]

Totally agree, this and your other projects make me ashamed to call myself a converter of toys.

Pretty much the same all around I suspect Blackadder. We all are just watching and don't want to say anything to interrupt the awesome you are creating.

One of the only response I could give would be 'good work, keep it up'. But it looks awesome so far though.
